I don’t have PayPal / I don’t want to use PayPal. How do I pay?

This is a little more complicated than it should be, and I (Mike the tech guy) apologize. The short answer is, Go ahead and click on the “PayPal” button, and on the next screen, you will see an option to pay with credit card / debit card. (You might have to scroll down a little bit.)

What about CEUs / PDAs?

Sorry — Dr. Bengston’s workshops are not set up to provide credits for continuing education units or professional development activities.

What preparation should I do?

The Weekend Workshop “Basic Course” is geared for beginners, and no specific preparation is required (though attendance at the optional Friday Evening Research Lecture is strongly recommended). For the Monday Advanced Practice session, you first should have attended a Weekend Workshop, either September 17-18 or previously. (If you want to register for the Advanced Practice Day as a stand-alone event, please contact us with the city and year that you took the Basic Course Two Day Workshop, using the contact form at the bottom of this page.)

For background study, Dr. Bengston’s published works and several suggested reading items are available, as well as recordings of interviews with Dr. Bengston.

I read The Energy Cure / I listened to Hands-On Healing. Can I attend the Advanced Practice session?

We (Jennifer and Helen, the local Seattle-area event organizers) have found that it is best to complete the “Basic Course” Two-Day Workshop (sometimes called the “Weekend Workshop”) before attending the Advanced Practice day. The Energy Cure is great; and according to Bill Bengston, Hands-On Healing is even better; but Jennifer and Helen feel there is just something about the Two-Day Workshop that better prepares people for the Advanced Practice session. (Other Bengston Method workshop organizers may decide differently.)

In other words — if you did not attend the “Basic Course” workshop in the past, please do not register only for the Advanced Practice day. But you can register for the Basic Course + Advanced Practice day!

What about refunds?

We hope you are able to attend and do not need to request a refund, but we recognize that unexpected things happen, and we will work with you. Our refunds policy is here. Note that if you have to cancel—the sooner, the better.
